Who Will Win Next Year's Emmy Awards...

Every year, as the Emmys for the last season of television are handed out, a whole new season is already here. Said new season is admittedly a mixed bag: Returning shows peak or crash; new shows hold promise or, mostly, hide from humanity. As part of my TV-watching duties for The Culture Blog, I've seen quite a bit of what's out there already*, and so I feel just confident enough to discern what may very well be the Emmy nominees and winners in 2013. Premature? Sure. But it wouldn't be any fun if it weren't.

*Disclaimer: The following predictions are based on countless hours of television-watching, deductive reasoning, and a dream I had in which Connie Britton asked me to help her shop for an Emmy dress.
